More Powerful PS4 Neo Will Launch This Year - Report

@blackamerica: people want sony consoles for the exclusive games above all else. microsoft's exclusives are weak sauce... scorpio will be outsold even by the standard ps4 model.

@blackamerica: If people were such power hungry sheep like you say they would just buy a PC. There are no specs release for the Neo, yet. Use facts if you are going to bash something. The PS4 isn't much better than the XB1. People are mainly buying the PS4 because they have much better games right now.

@blackamerica: lol @ super computer... By the time Scorpio launches it will be a mid range pc at best. The pc I currently have already blows it away.

Just lol.

@computernoises: production has started you will have it in November of this years. sony will just have to eat crow and lose this one.

@godfather830: Well there will be a difference. At 4.2 tflops the Neo will struggle to output 4K gaming. People are even saying the the Scorpio's 6 tflops might not be enough for 4K gaming.

@nurnberg: They already officially said the the Neo exists. You should believe the rumors now. The Scorpio rumors were true.

@BabeNewelll: Gabe has spoken!!!!. Bow down you peons!!! for the PC master race sits on the throne of games.

@berserker66666: It sure will.

@croxus: I doubt they'd be willing to lose software sales by making Neo only games. Just look at the New 3DS, only a handful of games are exclusive for it. Devs will just make games for PS4 and make the Neo version marginally better.

@catsimboy: They can't change the hardware at this point.

@Jinzo_111887: The steam controller is an abomination i'm sorry. I use a PS4 controller with my PC

@Jinzo_111887: lol just stick with your PC. Maybe when the new Red Dead comes out, they will release the OLDDDDD game on PC finally. Get another petition going??? xD

@IIIMatricksIII: I agree it's a bad move that will hurt consoles in the long run. There was an opportunity for one of the manufacturers to come forward and say they don't agree with this model for console gaming and that they would have their current console be their main system for its 6 year cycle, then they would release a new iteration of the console that would be more powerful than anything that came before it. This would spell out that if you was to buy one of these intermediate consoles that it would only be more powerful for a small window before the same situation arises again.

Once it becomes a prospect of every 2-3 years you are upgrading if you want to not have a worse experience with gaming, then you have to weigh up the price of a PC and its cheaper games. I think Microsoft know this and are moving to the Windows 10 branding over the Xbox branding, but Sony are making a dire mistake unless they see the future as a streaming service rather than in physical products.

@jenovaschilld: You make the mistake of lumping together all technology, plus some weird analogy about house bills, into the same pile as console gaming. Sometimes things exist to fulfil a niche, and consoles are one of those things. They are seen by many as something I can buy, plug in and get games for for 5+ years knowing their experience is going to be the same as everyone else's. By changing that single aspect of them you create questions about the product, the key one being 'is it still preferable to own a console, or am I better of getting a PC?' Even if only 25% of people decide it is enough to stop them buying consoles it is still a large enough chunk to lead to the demise of console gaming.

I also look forward to the beginnings of people getting angry that they play a game online at 25-30fps against people who are playing it at 60fps meaning they are, effectively, second class citizens in an area of the market that has never had that problem before.

We've had E3 now and have heard that all Xbox in-house exclusives will also be released on PC, given both use the same architecture now on top of the same operating system their is no reason why they would be released in any state worse than the console version. Sony have been experimenting with streaming technologies and have only not pushed them to the forefront so far as they know most people's internet is not up to the task yet. You are right that the market evolves over time, but in this case I would say the market is evolving to remove the need of consoles and this is going to be a push to make as much money as possible before this end comes.

@IIIMatricksIII: exactly, they're barely coming out with AAA games on the current generation and now they wanna bring out newer consoles? It just doesn't add up.

@IIIMatricksIII: Amen brother!

@IIIMatricksIII: People who bought a PS4 or X1 can try to sell their consoles, or give them to a friend, relative, or goodwill. If they wanted to do that before upgrading, I think they'd only have to do it once as I don't foresee anymore hardware refreshes this generation if console generations remain a thing.
